In Vietnam, LBJ is on record saying "I'll be goddamned if I'm going to be the first President to lose a war." He then proceeded to make sure thousands of more Americans and millions of Vietnamese died for his hubris, before refusing to run again and begging forgiveness. Nixon came in with a "secret plan" to end the war, which included carpet bombing, invading Cambodia, and making sure he ran up the total to 58,000 before bugging out. With Bush and Kerry, seems like more of the same.

How is Iraq like Vietnam? The people don't want us there. They didn't attack us, ever. The "insurgents" look just like the citizens. And like Vietnam, if we left, the main result would be less people dying. Like the Vietnamese, the Iraqis might just be able to cook up a government on their own that wouldn't threaten us.
